This project has gone non-public. I'm really tired of the braindead comments about optional HD
models. Shall all the whiners create something better. CM has become a just-for-fun project again.
Imagine, a Hollywood producer got his hands on the game. The result would be similar to what the Cinematic Mod is: a graphics blockbuster, redesigned to the typical game to movie adaption with an orchestral soundtrack and beautiful people everywhere.
A graphical / music total conversion of the Half-Life 2 storyline. You need Half-Life 2 + EP1 + EP2 and a 64Bit windows system to play this modification. (Mac OSX supported soon)
PURPOSE (Version 10.42)
- Unified Engine; play the game (HL2 / EP1 / EP2) with the latest Orangebox engine / Advanced HDR / new shadow effects
- Enhance the old HL2 maps with HDR, blooming, color-correction, new props, dynamic shadows
- Eliminate the visible world-skybox transitions in the maps. Cinematic Mod maps are looking much bigger than they are.
- Eliminate all blurry / Lowres textures with new Highres textures and/or Hires-Detail-Overlays
- Give the HL2 trilogy a more stressed, darker and uncomfortable look
- Enhance the soundtrack with a semi-dynamic new hollywood-style music
- Add optional HD characters (mostly based on the ultra-detailed Poser Pro mechs)
- Add ironsight
- Add dynamic shadow simulation with the help of env_projected_textures
- Add more replay-value and a fresh new style
- ALL features are optional and selectable with an comfortable configuration-tool.

__________________________________
Known bugs (1.0 - 1.25):
- After changing the ingame-language: Steam is asking you to restart hl2. Doing so will restart to the original unmodded hl2.
Therefore you should exit and start CM2013 manually.
- Poor performance on outdoor maps with HBAO enabled: HBAO is a fps killer and needs a really fast gpu.
- Sunrays are flickering: The sunrays shader is not fully compatible with multicore rendering. Either disable multicore
rendering in the advanced video options or disable the sunrays with the configurator.
- High VRAM mode gives me trouble (crashes or fps drops): The high vram mode is experimental. Disable it.
- My FOV is weird: CM2013 has enhanced FOV range (50-90 - Original hl2 has 75-90). Please check the fov setting in the video config panel.
- "Procedure entry point Direct3DCreate9Ex could not be located in DLL - nvspcap.dll" error with SweetFX enabled. Some nvidia drivers broke SweetFX.
Only workaround is to deinstall Geforce Experience or disable SweetFX. This bug may be corrected with an updated nvidia driver.

Whats the fastest way to download this mod?
Downloading a single part of the mod takes 22 minutes... and at that rate it will take me a couple hours...
Is there a faster way?
The full torrent download is the fastest.
It does require you to get Torrent though, obviously.
Moddb.com
I have the file downloaded...
how do I open this torrent?
Is Torrent an online program or an application?
I think it's both nowadays.
You can get it here: Utorrent.com
Just make sure to carefully read whatever pops up while instilling and decline any "offers" to install other software it might prompt you with.
Thanks a lot.
can someone pls make a guide on how to install cinematic mod + MMod for"non steam" version i know how to make the vanilla game work with MMod using shortcut and filling the target but it doesnt work for cinematic mod
FOV is awful for me; I'm @3840x2160 and the fov feels like 45 even though it is set to 90; no such issue with the vanilla HL2; only with this mod.
this will sound pretty dumb, but maybe your FOV problem could be a side effect of the mod not being updated anymore?? I mean vanilla hl2 barely gets updates and as you have mentioned, it does not have this issue. Have you tried increasing the FOV with the slider in the settings or the console commands?
Tout simplement génial!!!
Merci, je suis ultra fan de la saga, comme beaucoup j'ai joué à HL2 et ses épisodes des dizaines de fois à leur sortie et un peu plus tard.
Pourtant cela faisait plusieurs années que je n'y avais pas touché (depuis la sortie de Black mesa il me semble).
J'ai installé votre mod en corrélation avec le MMod et j'ai pris une énorme claque!!! Le level design est magnifique, remplis bien les vides et fait plus réaliste.
Mon fils a 12 ans et va pouvoir s'immerger dans cette saga en 2024, que dire de plus!
(Perso j'ai laissé les skins des persos originaux tellement j'ai l'impression que ce sont mes amis^^
En ce qui concerne la végétation, je ne comprend pas les réticences des gens, cela apporte un gros plus au level design qui 20 ans plus tard est plutôt vide il faut l'avouer!)
Vraiment merci du fond du coeur!

Just awesome!!!
Thank you, I'm a huge fan of the saga, like many I played HL2 and its episodes dozens of times when they came out and a little later.
However, it had been several years since I had touched it (since the release of Black Mesa it seems).
I installed your mod in correlation with the MMod and I took a huge hit!!! The level design is magnificent, fills the gaps well and makes it more realistic.
My son is 12 years old and will be able to immerse himself in this saga in 2024, what more can I say!
(Personally I left the skins of the original characters because I have the impression that they are my friends^^
Regarding the vegetation, I don't understand people's reluctance, it brings a big plus to the level design which 20 years later is rather empty it must be admitted!)
Really thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Enjoyed it, but episode 1 crashed for me at the first 10 min and episode 2 after 2 hours.
